Is Ravindra Jadeja an ATG test bowler?

[subshakerz]

Guys - we had a thread about this, more people here than not believe Ashwin is an ATG bowler which is bloody obvious given the 500 wickets sub 24. That view is even more widespread in the mainstream cricket media and amongst peers, Some people disagree. End of story.

Its not bloody obvious based on the poll results in that thread.

 

[subshakerz]

I think if you feel people like O'Reilly, Grimmett, Underwood, Gibbs, etc. are ATG spinners then Ashwin and Jadeja are both ATG spinners as well.

Only O Reilly not the rest.

Some people here feel the need to be contrary

You could use that to disqualify any poll result on CW you don't like.

All or Nothing.

that one was a majority in favor and I’m sure when people give his career full consideration it will be much more

Ok but don't claim it's obvious then if it isn't for people.

Being an ATG spinner

"Those who identify as ATG spinners". Even better

 

[Ashwinashwath]

He is an ATG all rounder as he has great fielding ability and agility.

I think this deserves its own thread.

Or multiple.

Jadeja has really good averages in SA and Aus alongside Ind, WI, SL, Bang etc.

Lol he has 1 game in SA. Really are lowering the standards here.

Yeah but did well there. That's the point.

If he failed in a country with that sample size, would you include it?

I mean, people do that.

 

[Jumno]

I don't think he is.

There have been zero ATG spinners since Murali/Warne.

fingers crossed ...Kuldeep

 

[subshakerz]

I mean, people do that.

Meaning you wouldn't.

Zero ATG spinners outside of those two tbh.

I'm sure I said the other day, don't think it was in this thread, any "all time great" spinner would be in the side permanent fixture, no question of them not playing even if touring the roads.....

wouldn't see a Sri Lankan side less Murali, Dharmasena or even Jayasuriya (a la Root route) picked because they decided the pitch wasn't a raging burner, and likewise aussie side without Warne.

Ashwin and Jadeja are too often either-or, doesn't mean they aren't both very good spinners simply that they aren't "first name on the sheet" material

do "ATG"s average near 33 with ball away from home? (Jadeja) India may well play more home games, but he also has only played 28 Tests away (2012 to present) Injuries can be a factor BUT also so can not being considered best spin option....
